Tras el anuncio del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, del “bloqueo total” a buques petroleros sanciones que entran y salen de Venezuela, la estatal Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) aseguró que las exportaciones de crudo y sus derivados “se desarrollan con normalidad”.
En un comunicado, la empresa aseguró que los barcos “continúan navegando con pleno aseguramiento, respaldo técnico y garantías operativas, en legítimo ejercicio de los derechos a la libre navegación y al libre comercio, ampliamente reconocidos y protegidos por el derecho internacional”.

PDVSA volvió a referirse a una serie de “ataques cibernéticos” que denuncia que sufrió tras la confiscación por parte de EE.UU. de un buque que transportaba crudo venezolano.

“Ninguna de estas agresiones ha logrado mellar la capacidad operativa ni la determinación de la fuerza laboral de PDVSA, que goza del apoyo unitario y pleno del pueblo venezolano”, dice el comunicado, y añade que mantiene su compromiso con la “defensa de la soberanía energética” del país y el cumplimiento de sus “compromisos comerciales legítimos y la protección de sus operaciones marítimas”.

Este martes, Trump anunció en una publicación de Truth Social un “bloqueo total y completo” a los petroleros sancionados que llegan y salen de Venezuela, un paso más en medio de la escalada de tensión entre EE.UU. y el Gobierno de Nicolás Maduro.

En la publicación, apuntó al Gobierno de Maduro y sugirió que Venezuela entregue tierras, petróleo y activos a Estados Unidos.

“Venezuela está completamente rodeada por la mayor Armada jamás reunida en la historia de Sudamérica. Solo se hará más grande, y el impacto para ellos será como nada que hayan visto antes, hasta que devuelvan a Estados Unidos todo el petróleo, la tierra y otros activos que previamente nos robaron”, dijo Trump.

La reacción del Gobierno venezolano no se hizo esperar. En un comunicado difundido el martes, indicaron que los dichos de Trump eran una “amenaza grotesca”.

Este miércoles, el ministro de Defensa, Vladimir Padrino Lípez, aseguró en declaraciones televisadas que Estados Unidos busca “robarse” el petróleo. “No lo quieren a través del comercio lícito, se lo quieren robar, literalmente, y nosotros no lo vamos a permitir, sencillamente, este es un país soberano que se respeta”, dijo, y consideró las declaraciones de Trump como “muy prepotentes, muy arrogantes, muy supremacistas”.

El fiscal general de Venezuela, Tarek William Saab, también cuestionó el anuncio de Trump y manifestó “total y absoluto repudio a las incalificables amenazas lanzadas por el presidente” de EE.UU.

(CNN) — Is Paris ready for Emily’s next act?

After getting off the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train in Paris this past Sunday, Lily Collins — who plays the titular character in Netflix’s “Emily in Paris” — was photographed promoting the upcoming season in a Saint Laurent look designed by Anthony Vaccarello. Wearing a skimpy, blush-toned lingerie piece, styled with a chocolate brown trench coat and clutch bag, it felt like one of Collins’ most daring outfits yet, particularly for an actor whose personal style has generally leaned towards classic elegance.

This isn’t the first time we have seen a Lily wear a lace outfit from the French label’s resort collection, either. Just the night before, Lily Allen was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, where she performed her song “Sleepwalking” while wearing a mint green lace-trimmed romper that resembled a vintage nightgown or lingerie. (It was later identified by her stylist Leith Clark as a design also by Saint Laurent.) Both outfits were styled with sheer nylon tights and a pair of heels.

Winter’s sexiest look, it seems, may be granny’s old-timey knickers – and the style choices of both Lilys aren’t the only ones to go by. This week, Collins’ “Emily in Paris” co-star Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu wore a plunging scalloped neckline minidress with a trailing chiffon train to a promotional event for the series. Elsewhere, Katie Holmes was seen wearing a lace-trimmed camisole paired with a matching skirt.

The looks build on this summer’s nightgown-as-daywear trend but are amped up and even sexier for the winter. Sabrina Carpenter, a reigning Gen Z fashion icon, has been leading the charge — regularly rocking corsets, slip dresses, and lingerie-inspired tops on her “Short n’ Sweet” tour, pushing boudoir style from the bedroom to the streets and red carpet.

What was once considered intimate apparel can be worn out, redefining public dress codes. So, whether you’re stepping off a sleeper train or out for coffee in the neighborhood, the message is clear: the boudoir is officially open for business.

(CNN) — Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado has left Oslo, her coordinator of international relations, Pedro Urruchurtu Noselli, wrote in a post on X.

“As confirmed by the prime minister of Norway, she is no longer in the city of Oslo,” Noselli’s post said. “She is doing well and during these days she is attending medical appointments with a specialist for her prompt and full recovery.”

CNN is trying to find out where Machado traveled to. Machado is recovering from a vertebra fracture she suffered during her secretive journey to leave Venezuela and travel to Norway to receive the Nobel last week.

Machado, one of the most critical voices against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, spent 11 months in hiding in Venezuela out of fear for her life and freedom.

But last week she left her refuge to begin a difficult and dangerous journey to Oslo. While she did not arrive at the Wednesday morning ceremony, where her daughter received the prize on her behalf, she did appear before the public the following day.

US special forces veteran Bryan Stern, founder of the Grey Bull Rescue Foundation, said his rescue team spirited the Nobel laureate out of Venezuela. Stern told CNN that the extraction lasted almost 16 hours and was carried out mostly at night and in rough waters.

After a journey by boat and a private jet, Machado arrived in Norway on December 10. There she met with her daughter and made her first public appearance in almost a year, greeting the crowd from the balcony of the Grand Hotel in Oslo.

“In general, this is the most difficult, most high-profile and most delicate operation we have performed,” said Stern, who added that he pleaded with Machado not to return to Venezuela.

Machado has previously said that her intention is to return to her country.

(CNN) — Rep. Sarah McBride on Wednesday criticized congressional Republicans as being “obsessed with trans people” ahead of a vote on bills that would restrict youth access to gender identity care and penalize health workers who provide it.

“I actually think they think more about trans people than trans people think about trans people,” said McBride, who is the first out transgender member of Congress.

“They are consumed with this, and they are extreme on it,” the Delaware Democrat added.

Since President Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second term, he has made restricting access to health care for trans people and diminishing their existence a priority.

The president has ordered trans people to be removed from the military, excised any mention of them from federal websites, removed them from hate crime surveys and worked to restrict their access to youth sports.

Despite the outsized attention placed on trans people by the administration, they only represent around 0.6% of the US population aged 13 and older, according to the Williams Institute, a think tank at UCLA Law that provides scientific research on gender identity and sexual orientation.

One of the new GOP bills, spearheaded by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, would amend current law to make it a felony for health care providers to offer forms of gender identity care to transgender youth, including hormone therapy and puberty blockers.

The bill would also open the door for criminal penalties to people who help facilitate that care for minors, including parents or guardians.

The bill is the culmination of a yearslong effort on the part of Greene, a Georgia Republican, to restrict youth access to such care. Trump, with whom Greene has recently fallen out, made anti-transgender policies a central platform of his successful presidential campaign.

Civil rights groups including the American Civil Liberties Union described Greene’s bill as “the most extreme anti-trans legislation ever considered by Congress.”

A second bill, sponsored by GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas, prohibits federal Medicaid funding for “gender transition procedures for minors.”

McBride said Wednesday that Republicans were “trying to politicize a misunderstood community and misunderstood care.”

“No one’s healthcare should be politicized,” she said
